It is a blend of 78% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. The grapes were hand-harvested on the fruit and flower days of the biodynamic calendar and fermented on skins for 10 – 26 days with indigenous yeasts.\u003cbr\u003e The malolactic fermentation went through naturally. The wine was aged for 7 months in 30% new French oak barrels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine-grained tannins frame the structure of this beautifully fruited cabernet merlot blend from our 50-year-old vines. Tannins are what make great wine quality, and this wine has ample - with tannins sitting at the front of the mouth pulling the flavours of cabernet through, so energetic with the tension between the savoury and sweet nature of this wine. Delicious and satisfying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy now or for up to 30 years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cullen Wines","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":39883628019821,"sku":"MEZCDCMP19","price":51.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435319304301,"sku":"MEZCDCMP19-6","price":290.67,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/Cullen-Wines-210817-0001-1.jpg?v=1736504968"},{"product_id":"cullen-grace-madeline-2018","title":"Cullen Grace Madeline 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage 2025 at Cullen began in early February after a warm, dry growing season capped off by unusually warm conditions in May 2024 that triggered a rare “double budburst” in the Chardonnay – some shoots tried to wake up before winter, then again after, naturally reducing fruitfulness and leaving us with tiny crops and beautifully concentrated fruit. The was some bird pressure early, but the blossom came through halfway, and the birds seemed to disappear overnight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe result is a set of whites with lifted perfume, texture and depth, slightly softer natural acidity than 2024 making them delicious even in their youth, and a Kevin John Chardonnay that looks especially powerful and refined.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere was no pause before the reds rolled in, and the long, even ripening delivered another brilliant season for Cabernet: dense, savoury and classically structured. Across the board, 2025 trades the sheer heat and power of 2024 for classical perfume and balance. These wines will drink beautifully now and evolve gracefully in the cellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cullen Wines","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":39883677302893,"sku":"MEZCULKJ18","price":40.77,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":41435319369837,"sku":"MEZCULKJ18-6","price":232.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/products\/2018CullenGraceMadeline_1_700x_192435fb-8997-40f2-a26f-5afc765729ff.jpg?v=1736504970"}],"url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/collections\/new-arrivals-cullen.oembed","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
